After taking a year out to recover from the success of the last series of the Light Graffiti Cars, entrepreneur Marc Cameron and photographer Mark Brown are back with a new batch of images of iconic cars created using light painting.

It’s here! The iPhone 5 is finally here! After weeks of conjecture about what it’s features will include, Apple has taken the wraps off the latest generation of its superior smartphone. And, along with some excellent new features, it’s looking very trim! Described by Apple as the “thinnest smartphone in...

For us, the Socialmatic camera remains one of the coolest stories we’ve covered in 2012. After all, even the greatest of cynics can’t deny that there’s something uplifting about the story of a fledgling design company that gets funding for a camera design that is based on the Instagram app...

As huge fans of things that glow in the dark, we’ve been massively impressed by Coldplay’s use of light effects, glowbands and Neon graffiti during their Mylo Xyloto world tour. That said, we think Chris Martin and co might have a serious rival for the “Best use of light effects”...

It seems apt that after weeks of torrential downpour in the UK, we should turn our attention to the work of Camille Seaman, a US-based photographer who has honed a successful career from capturing images of supercell thunderstorm clouds.

In years to come, film critics and film fans alike will look back at 2012 as one of the greatest ever years for the superhero genre. Thus far we’ve already seen the critically acclaimed The Avengers movie surpass the $1bn mark at the international box office, and with The Amazing...

Let’s take a moment to forget about all of the press coverage of Tom Cruise’s divorce from Katie Holmes, and instead take some time to appreciate the guy for what he does best: making great action movies. Mission Impossible 4 was one of them, and Jack Reacher, for which the...

We were going to start this article off by posing the following question: “What’s better than a McLaren MP4-12C?”. Then it dawned on us that that’s a ridiculous question, given that nothing is. But, in the event you were wondering what’s as good as the MP4-12C, then look no further...

At this point last year, American singer Elizabeth Woolridge Grant was unknown to the wider public. But, that swiftly changed following the overwhelming success of the YouTube video for her single Video Games, resulting in Grant, aka Lana Del Rey, becoming a household name and one of the finest examples...

If you look at it from the front onwards, you could easily mistake the Z2300 Instant Digital Camera for being Polaroid’s very own contribution to the smartphone market. But, unlike Microsoft and Google, who have both taken footsteps into new markets during the past fortnight, Polaroid is sticking to what...

Steven Spielberg’s superior dystopian thriller Minority Report is famous for showcasing a number of future technologies that are now either a reality or close to being one, including multi-touch interfaces, retina scanners and customised advertising boards. It’s made the previously unthinkable a real possibility, which is why we’re excited about...

In the past we’ve seen some pretty interesting ways to promote a car, including showing off its ability to play ice hockey. But none has been more effective than this stunning slow motion footage of the BMW M5 – aka the world’s fastest sedan – smashing into large inanimate...

While the iPhone has its rivals in the form of the Blackberry and HTC, Apple’s iPad tablet has gone relatively unchallenged since it hit the market in the spring of 2010. But, that all looks set to change with the imminent arrival of the Surface – Microsoft’s very own rival...

These days, new artists are finding it harder than ever to carve out their niche into the over-crowded world of modern music. The internet has revolutionised the music industry, meaning the simple click of a button can start a race around cyber-space, taking an unknown song to the screens of...

By now you may have figured out that we have an insatiable appetite for all things light-graffiti-related. After weeks of therapy (Was it the neon fashion we wore as children in the early ’90s? We may never know), we thought we’d got a grip on it, but then we stumbled...

It only hit the web on Monday evening, yet the world is still talking about the brilliance of the third and final trailer for Christopher Nolan’s last Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. On the evidence of the trailer alone, it seems that Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were...

Building on his success as Eomer in Lord of the Rings, Kirill in The Bourne Supremacy and Bones in Star Trek, Karl Urban puts on the famous helmet once worn by Sly Stallone in the 1995 original Judge Dredd movie and never even once takes it off, providing both an acting challenge and an exact...

Set to hit UK cinema screens in early 2013, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters tells the tale of what happened 15 years after the protagonists of the famous Brothers Grimm fairytale shoved the witch into the oven (you know the rest of the story, right?). Presumably killing off the witch and walking off with her...

The Dark Knight Rises was supposed to present us with British actor Tom Hardy’s best acting role of 2012 – but we’re no longer sure that’s going to be the case after getting a glimpse of his performance in Lawless, which is out in UK cinemas this Friday. If the official trailer’s anything to go...

Though we traditionally associate manga with being a product of Japan (the industry has a turnover of $5bn per annum), the burgeoning popularity of this art form in Europe and the Middle East has resulted in the emergence of a market that now generates an annual revenue of $250m.

SRT has finally dropped the bomb that is the 2013 Viper. After a few weeks of teasing – involving line sketches, the background story of the new logo, and sporadic image releases – SRT debuted its new car at the 2012 New York Auto Show.

Taylor Kitsch frowns cutely as troubled maverick US Navy hunk Alex Hopper, who gets into a sea of trouble even before he sets sail to save the world, all because he fancies a girl called Samantha (‘actress’ and former model Brooklyn Decker). This gets him trouble with the cops, his brother (Alexander Skarsgård) and his...

Five American college friends head off to the countryside for a break in a relative’s remote cabin in the woods. Only trouble is, they’re being tracked by a couple of evil old blokes (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford) at the computerised controls of a weird corporate organisation clearly up to no good. There’s grim foreboding as...

Citroen has just published all the details and images of their 2012 Beijing Motor Show stunner. The car was previewed last month with a couple of artistic images, but no accompanying information whatsoever.

For some years now Lamborghini has been toying with the idea of adding a third model line to add to their minuscule range, which currently only consists of two-door, two-seat supercars. In 2008 they unveiled the Estoque super-sedan concept, and for a while it looked like it was destined for production. But now it seems...

We never get tired of seeing new and innovative ways of using light painting, which is why we were blown away by this stunning, Matrix-esque video created by the ‘Splice Boys’ Bullet Time Crew. Instead of waxing lyrical about its brilliance (you just want to watch the thing, after all) we thought we’d let the...

In years to come, superhero fans will look back at this week as a defining moment in superhero movie history. First we were treated to the third and final (and best trailer) for Christopher Nolan’s latest Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises – and now, before we’ve even had time to catch our breaths, we’re...

Another magnificent Johnny Depp turn, another gorgeous-looking fantasy film from Tim Burton. Their eighth partnership together, based on a little-known American ’60s daytime TV show, may not be their best, but it is funny, creepy and a whole lot of fun.

Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson is 56 or so now, and looks it, as frayed at the edges as he’s been frayed in temper lately. Just the right man, then, to play an ultra-audacious, ever-resourceful small-time career crook who slams his robbery getaway car across the American-Mexican border to get away from the US cops but...

Infinitely talented British illustrator and animator Liam Brazier first came to our attention via his mind-blowing three dimensional images of superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man, which we profiled on Fotorater last year.

Bored of the aesthetic of contemporary digital SLRs? Is the fancy Ferrari-inspired Hasselblad not to your liking? Fancy a camera that’s a real blast from the past and will test your photography skills to the max? Then ILOTT Vintage might have just what you’re looking for.

Since Mark Zuckerberg went and bought Instagram for $1bn (as you do), it’s barely been out of the press – thanks largely to great deal of conjecture about what Zuck and his chums down at Facebook HQ plan to do with the social network giant’s latest acquisition.

When he’s not making hit records, award-winning musician Moby likes to indulge his passion for walking around LA and taking pictures of weird and wonderful architecture manifest in this awesome US city.

We’ve seen some scary scenes in movies in our time. That barnyard scene in Critters was pretty bad. Then there’s the loose jaw of dead woman scene in The Orphanage. And practically any scene in The Omen (and the sequel) leaves us reaching for the remote control. That said, if there’s one scene from the...

Was Abraham Lincoln a vampire hunter – of course he wasn’t. Or was he…? ‘It’s just not historical’, critics were shouting and moaning after the press show. Er, that’s right, it’s escapist fantasy entertainment.

While not quite ‘the best action movie of the year’ as advertised on the poster, The Expendables 2 is a total blast – a bit scrappily made, like a cheery old-style B-movie, but consistently funny and exciting, even sometimes hilarious and thrilling.

The Audi Elite Concept is the work of designer Eric Leong. What’s most remarkable about the Audi Elite concept isn’t its dramatic styling, its race-car like single-seat layout, or even its radical “artificial photosynthesis process”, which somehow powers it. No, the Audi Elite’s real selling point is its completely revolutionary control system.

The next Ferrari Flagship, son of the Enzo, grandson of the F50, and great-grandson of the F40, is due to be revealed towards the end of this year. But so far nobody outside the Ferrari hive has any accurate idea of how the car – speculatively called the F70 – actually looks. And that’s thanks...

Four continually-squabbling middle-aged suburban nerds form a neighbourhood watch to tackle pesky aliens that are troubling the place. Yes, folks, it’s the setup of Ghostbusters, with aliens replacing ghosts. If the story idea seems second hand and a bit stale, so are the gags in this surprisingly weak and clunky script by Seth Rogen, Evan...

Ladies and gentlemen, three small cheers, please, for a good-natured, affectionate, kid-friendly and adult-friendly toast to the pretty-much long-forgotten slapstick talent that was The Three Stooges. Not what you’d expect from gross-out merchants The Farrelly Brothers. Not many laughs then? Not one to bother about? As the Stooges themselves proved years ago, silly slapstick is...

The multitude of repressive setbacks in the way of lesbian love in Teheran is the theme for this brave, provocative and moving Iranian drama, the Audience Award winner at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s also an eye-opener as an explosive, revealing portrait of Iran’s youth culture, with its rush of parties, drugs and blooming sexuality....

Going to some sunny destination for a holiday this winter? Fancy dabbling in spot of underwater photography but don’t want to break the bank? Then look no further than the rather funky-looking DC1400 from Sealife Cameras. This easy-to-use 14-megapixel camera comes equipped with piano key controls that make it easy to change the settings/set up...

‘Supremely dedicated’ would be the appropriate way to describe anyone who takes a photograph of themselves every day for a period of five years, in order to show the world how their physical appearance has transformed over that period of time. Which is exactly what Mike (we don’t know his last name), or Thisnomyp, as...

Is it real, is it Recall, the ads ask. Well, no, this mind-bending, future-shock action thriller is not remotely Total Recall as we knew it in Arnie’s day. Nobody goes to Mars, and it’s set in ultra-trendy futuristic London, for heaven’s sake. Commendably, and completely justifying a remake, it’s a total reboot of Philip K...
